Megan Williams

Born and raised in Newcastle, Megan started her fascination with fine art at the age of eight, after winning a local art competition and receiving a scholarship for a series of tutorials and workshops with renowned Australian illustrator, Kim Gamble.

Working primarily within the mediums of painting, drawing and photography, she has been a part of a number group exhibitions throughout Newcastle and recently worked with a variety of local theatres, businesses and art schools to shoot a series of photographs aiming to promote Newcastle as Australia’s leading ‘city of the arts’

She is currently completing her Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art and Education and during this time has worked with community groups throughout Newcastle and the Hunter Region, creating programs, activities and exhibitions that aim to encourage children to use the arts as a means of expressing themselves as well as educate them with knowledge and advice about becoming successful working artists. Megan hopes to use her passion for art and love for the city of Newcastle to work toward The Hunter becoming unrivalled in the quality of its artists and art education programs.
